I just never liked the keyboard or the closed mobi environment of the Kindle. I have stuck with Sony, and now Kobo. And I imagine for most ebooks I will stick with my epub readers.

I own other android "tablets" and "ereaders", but the were all cheap throw-aways.

I have only had the Fire for a few hours, but I have to say, I really like it. I have three different generations of iPod Touch'es and a beloved iPad first generation, and they are great devices. But I always wished Apple made a 5-7 inch device. The iPod Touch and iPad are good, but often too small, or too big.

The Fire really seems to be the Goldilocks solution. Big enough to be useful for video media (and ebooks) and small enough to fit in a coat pocket.

Only had it for a few hours, and it won't likely replace my Sony or Kobo for most novel reading, but it is has a lot of potential as a small media device.
Congrats! I love my Fire! I have several readers sideloaded so I find myself reading on it more than my other Kindles.
